Antoine Vermette

At Monday's Blackhawks fan festival, most of the team's top stars got the night off and were able to sit back and watch in their sweaters as younger teammates jockeyed for roster spots.

But one young contributor no longer has to worry about whether he will start the season in Rockford or with the Hawks.

Teuvo Teravainen is slated to play a key role for the Hawks this season after a major offseason roster turnover. Still, Teravainen — who scored a goal in the three-on-three overtime portion of Monday's scrimmage — isn't trying to count his good fortune before it happens. To him, there is much to prove this training camp.
